CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation application of application Ser. No. 12/312,393, which is a United States national phase application under 35 USC 371 of International application PCT/JP2007/072083 filed Nov. 14, 2007. The entire contents of each of application Ser. No. 12/312,393 and International application PCT/JP2007/072083 are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives having (substituted phenyl or substituted heterocyclic) carbonyloxy lower alkyl group and ester-introduced phenyl group as substituents or a salt thereof, which are useful as pharmaceuticals. The derivatives have a glucocorticoid receptor binding activity and are useful as glucocorticoid receptor modulators having a nonsteroidal structure (glucocorticoid receptor agonists and/or glucocorticoid receptor antagonists).

BACKGROUND ART

A glucocorticoid receptor is a 94 kDa ligand-activated intracellular transcriptional regulatory factor that is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. This receptor is known to affect the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and the like, suppression of the immune or inflammatory responses, activation of the central nervous system, regulation of cardiovascular function, and basal and stress-related homeostasis and the like due to its transcriptional regulatory action. As diseases which are considered to be related to glucocorticoid receptor, metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, inflammatory diseases such as enteritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, autoimmune diseases such as connective tissue diseases, allergic diseases such as asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis, central nervous system diseases such as psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer's disease and drug use disorders, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hypercalcemia, hyperinsulinemia and hyperlipidemia, homeostasis-related diseases causing an abnormality of neuro-immune-endocrine balance, glaucoma and the like are known (SOUGOU RINSYOU, 54(7), 1951-2076 (2005), JP-A-2002-193955). Therefore, a compound having a glucocorticoid receptor binding activity is useful as a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for these diseases.

As such a compound having a glucocorticoid receptor binding activity, glucocorticoid receptor agonists synthesized in the living body such as cortisol and corticosterone, synthetic glucocorticoid receptor agonists such as dexamethasone, prednisone and prednisilone, non-selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonists such as RU486 and the like are known (JP-A-2002-193955).

On the other hand, compounds having a 1,2-dihydroquinoline structure are disclosed as steroid receptor modulators in WO 2004/018429, JP-T-10-0510840, WO 2006/019716 and the like. In WO 2004/018429, JP-T-10-0510840 and WO 2006/019716, many compounds which have very broad and a variety of chemical structures are disclosed, and 1,2-dihydroquinoline structure is disclosed as one of them. However, 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives having (subustituted phenyl or subustituted heterocyclic) carbonyloxy lower alkyl group and ester-introduced phenyl group as substituents have not been specifically disclosed at all.

3) Having a (substituted phenyl or substituted hetrocyclic) carbonyloxy lower alkyl group (Y is a lower alkylene group, Z is a phenyl group or a hetrocyclic group) in C part of the general formula (1).

[Pharmacological Test]

1. Evaluation Tet for Binding Activity to Glucocorticoid Receptor (Hereinafter Referred to as “GR”)

In order to evaluate a binding activity to GR, a receptor competitor assay was carried out by a fluorescence polarization method. In the assay, a GR competitor assay kit (manufactured by Invitrogen, cat No. P2816) was used, and a procedure was carried out according to the protocol attached to the kit. Hereinafter, the specific method will be described.

(Preparation of Reagents)

GR screening buffer: A buffer containing 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4), 20 mM sodium molybdate (Na₂MoO₄), 0.1 mM ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.1 mM stabilizing peptide and 2% dimethylsulfoxide was prepared.

4×GS1 solution: Fluormone™ GS1, which is a fluorescent glucocorticoid ligand, was diluted with GR screening buffer, whereby a 4 nM solution was prepared.

4×GR solution: Recombinant human GR was diluted with GR screening buffer, whereby a 16 nM solution was prepared.

(Preparation of Test Compound Solution)

After a test compound was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide, the resulting solution was diluted with GR screening buffer, whereby a 20 μM test compound solution was prepared.

(Test Method and Measurement Method)

1) The test compound solution was added in an amount of 10 μL into each well of a 384-well plate, and then, 4×GS1 solution and 4×GR solution were added in an amount of 5 μL into each well, respectively.

2) The plate was incubated in a dark place at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours.

3) By using a multimode plate reader, Analyst™ HT (manufactured by LJL Biosystems), fluorescence polarization of each well was measured. As the blank, a well containing GR screening buffer in place of the test compound and 4×GS1 solution was used.

4) The same procedure as that in the above 1) to 3) was carried out except that GR screening buffer was used in place of the test compound solution, and the obtained result was taken as the negative control.

5) The same procedure as that in the above 1) to 3) was carried out except that 2 mM dexamethasone was used in place of the test compound solution, and the obtained result was taken as the positive control.

(Calculation Equation of GR Binding Ratio)

A GR binding ratio (%) was calculated from the following equation.

GR binding ratio(%)=100×[1−(fluorescence polarization of test compound solution−fluorescence polarization of positive control solution)/(fluorescence polarization of negative control solution fluorescence polarization of positive control solution)]
